Focus SWW Summer 2017 | Page 4

A Letter from the Director General Dear reader, Welcome from the Society of will Writers to this Summer issue of Focus SWW. This issue marks one year in publication, and a very good year it has been. Viewing figures from the most recent issue have quadrupled from those of the first, and reader engagement from members of the public, as well as members of the Society has been very positive. In this second year, we aim to not only expand the content of the magazine, but also its reach to firmly cement Focus SWW as The Succession Law Emag. As mentioned in previous letters, Focus SWW is the only Emag which caters to both the professional and the consumer with regard to the making of a Will, and all the complexities that they can often involve. At The Society of Will Writers, we believe strongly in promoting the need for a Will, and only through educating the public and our members can we ensure successful and efficient Estate Planning. As always, we encourage anyone seeking advice, or looking to locate a SWW member to contact us either by phone, on 01522 68 78 88, by email at [email protected] or by visiting our website at www.willwriters.com. With the Summer months ahead, many of us are no doubt looking forward to spending time with our families and enjoying the company and joy that they bring us. 2 The Society of Will Writers It can of course serve as a reminder that the time we get to share with the ones we love is precious, and not be taken for granted. All too often families are left to deal with all of the stress that comes when trying to deal with the deceased’s estate at a time when they really ought to just be grieving. It would be wise to use this time of year to plan for the future and really show those you love that you care for them enough to remove as many as possible of the burdens and stresses that will arise after you’re gone. I, along with the rest of the team here at The Society of Will Writers wish you the very best for this summer, and hope you make the most of few days of sunshine we’ll be lucky to get. Remember to plan for the future, and to always ensure you use a professional to ensure this is done correctly.
